Paying by HALF A POUND,,I S THE WAY TO GO,,,LESS PRESSURE,,ON EVERYBODY,,PLUS TRIMMERS GET PAYED TWICE IN ONE DAY FOR COMPLETING THE OTHER HALF OF THEIR POUND,,IF THAY WANT,,EVERYBODY WINS..

Ya location is half the battel,,once ,when i first started i actually gave a. 500$ deposit.,on my trim,,just so i COULD trim at home and play xbox,,lol,,maybe consider that,,give them a great deal,,i know THEIRS trimmers outtheir,,with family who just cant commit that much time,,but if thay were home and THAY had peace of mind,,skies the limit,,,,??good luck,,,

some people use them, its for cost and time effeciency but everyone knows HAND TRIMMED is and always will be the highest quality. trimming machines remove alot of resin in the process and this leaves you stuck trying to clean the gum off the machine. there are trade offs. id much rather pay a confident individual human being than have a machine do a mediocre job for me

Yeah. Lots of americans use the trimmers.. Theyre great for B grade booty. It just beats the buds up, and alot of trichs are lost during the process, and they never get all the petioles... So, for A grade meds, u definately need a hand trim..

Sitting on your ass in your underwear glued to the TV is a great way to make trimming your tent take 4 times as long. This thread is about commercial trimming, not head stash.

I second this. $10 an hour is a total insult to a professional trimmer, and as for trimming being "easy"... there are a ton of really shitty trimmers out there so I wouldn't think easy is the best word for it. Being detail-oriented and consistent while sitting on your ass for long hours takes focus and stamina.

$200/unit seems to be the standard in Portland for professionals. Don't know anyone who does hourly; seems to just promote them taking forever to get their work done.

Trimming machines are considered hackery here. If you are producing enough quantity that you need a trimming machine, then you can afford to pay humans to hand-process your flowers. Unless you are producing crap-weed at bargain-basement prices or are just a tight-ass.

TV? You can't be serious. A top-shelf beer an hour is provided, though.

$150 a pound is pretty standard for my friends in the fall with outdoor gardens in oregon and nor cal... indoor gardens are $150-200/lb in sonoma county/707

Never paid anyone to trim. Do trim work for friends. $200/pound. Get to do it at home, so that's nice. It all goes back to them, i'm allowed to smoke some, but would rather just have everything accounted for. Hate when I get stuck with seconds, especially of GG4. Takes forever.
